Concert pianist Mona Golabek will return to Hartford Stage for a special summer engagement of her one-woman grand-piano show "The Pianist of Willesden Lane" July 12-22. The show played Hartford Stage as part of the 2014-15 season. It has since been seen in Connecticut at Westport Country Playhouse in 2017 and 2018.

"The Pianist of Willesden Lane" is based on the experiences of Golabek's mother Lisa Jura, a young musician who escaped the Nazi regime in Austria thanks to the Kindertransport rescue mission.
